those are examples where i think you want us to use this statute. this is a statute that congress gave us in 1939 to prohibit unfair deceptive acts or practices. >> wyndham case is fair example. it didn't protect their credit card data. >> what we allege, yes. >> 500,000 credit card numbers ended up in the hands of a russian company. >> can neither confirm or deny that. that is certainly the allegation. i don't think even they deny it. >> i guess you brought that. >> involving multiple hacks. not first time or second time. perhaps as many as three. >> one thing i wonder about, one criticism of the ftc you didn't do anything to google for their overcollection of wi-fi information and i don't know how much you can say about that by that, part of the problem there was they didn't say they wouldn't do it. so it wasn't deceptive. they never said i'm not going to collect everybody's information over wi-fi. >> so you can't say much about investigations except that we try to be balanced. not every allegation of unfairness by competitor or by consumer group

with jesus and present us to himself. all this is for your benefit so that the grace that is reaching more and more people -- grace, that wonderful word, "are grace" too often a shortage in washington that mike so well displays -- may cause people thanksgiving to overflow for the glory of god. therefore do not lose heart. mike, don't lose heart. though outwardly we are wasting away, yet innerly we are being renewed day by day. for our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. so we fix our eyes not on the scene, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary and what is unseen is eternal. in a place preoccupied by titles and position and power, mike has shown everyone by his life and his deeds and his words that things that are unseen are the things that matter. he has shown us what it means to run the race and finish it strong, well done, good and faithful servant. my hope is that god will bless mike and roseanne, their children and grandchildren, as he closes

both of which concern all of us. i have been working with the administration to ensure that those detention policies are not harmfullharmful interpreted. but the law itself remains a problem. several of my colleagues including the senator from kentucky and senator feinstein have suggested changes to the law that will help repair the flawed policies enacted last year. i've also crafted my own legislation working with the ranking member on the house armed services committee, congressman adam smith from washington, to repair some of the harm that i believe was done in last year's ndaa. i've filed that bill to this year's ndaa as amendment 3115, along with the chairman of the senate judiciary committee, senator leahy. inow, senators feinstein and pal have a similar but slightly different approach to resolving the problems created by the detainee provisions passed last year. their there are efforts under way to ensure that whatever passage we take is supported by the greatest number of members possible and i look forward
